Even though I'm not Catholic or even christian, I admire and respect the Pope. I'll be sad to see him go.

Your job as Pope is to mumble incoherently

Hey, I searched around to no avail. The only place I could find this problem being discussed was the Apple Discussions forums, but who knows what (if anything) has been 'moderated…

I've lost the bottom right bit (about 2-3 mm long) of the Apple symbol on the left-hand command key. This is the only place it's happened after about 19 months of use.

not that anyone cares here, but i thought i should jot down the outcome of this in the event someone else has this problem. simply put, apple picked up my machine on monday and re…
